i realize a lot of people tend to over-characterize wesker and completely disregard some of his main personality traits. (long post that’s not rlly organized read at ur own risk lol)
i’ll often see videos/edits about him and a lot of people will say something along the lines of
“he’d instantly kill me” (read this on a thirst post LMAO)
“he’d threaten to kill me if i ever spoke to him”
“wesker would kill all of us if he found out we were simping for him”
and that always really confused me? knowing wesker’s character i feel like people would know he doesn’t kill people unless he really has to. there are few moments where he does kill and they’re mainly because he has to/has real reason behind it.
in reality, he likely wouldn’t kill you instantly, especially if you simply weren’t a threat. who cares if you simp for him? he sure doesn’t. even if you were a threat, he’d send out other people to take care of you first and if he had a confrontation with you he surely wouldn’t take you seriously (i highly doubt y’all mfs know how to fight i’m sorry 😭)
you wanna know why wesker fought chris in the first place? he thought it was amusing and didn’t even take it seriously. the whole time he just messed around, clearly not trying to kill him. he literally tells chris he has 7 minutes to fuck with him like he’s got a strict schedule. dude was not taking any of that seriously. he took a phone call because chris and sheva were so irrelevant to him. they were considered ‘threats’ but clearly not enough to him for him to really care. he has enough confidence in his own abilities to know he could take care of something if they really posed a threat to him.
it’s actually surprising how people make out wesker to be this ruthless angry killer who doesn’t put up with anything when in reality he’s just a goofy little comic book villain who has the zoomies half the time.
we have visual proof of a wesker simp trying to fuck him (excella) and him simply using them before killing them. keep in mind he put up with her for 5~ whole years.
moral of the story, no he wouldn’t threaten you or actually kill you the moment you spoke a word to him. that’s seriously out of character for him and i’m not sure why after seeing him in so many games that people will automatically assume that he’d do that. he’s capable of fighting but clearly prefers to use his charm.

*kicks down your door* i just rewatched Train to Busan aND WAAAH MY MIND IMMEDIATELY WENT BACK TO YOUR ZOMBIE AU will zombie mob become human again bcs i'm seriously hurting for ritsu THAT BOY NEEDS A HUG (also also, give zombie mob some milk too, i think he deserves it 😔)
- 🪻
OOOO i've never watched train to busan !! just looked it up it looks inchresting
and yes !! absolutely yes they find a way to cure him eventually. haven't thought abt the actual process too much, but it takes a long while, and he's never rly the same afterward
he doesn't just magically turn back to being a healthy human—there are things that stay with him well beyond the curing. some of his speech is slower, and muddled. definitely a lot of nerve damage, and his sense of pain is forever fucked up. sometimes i think it'd take a bit for a concept to click in his head, even if it seems simple
i've changed it a bit since i last talked abt it i think ? but it's very easy for zombies to die from sleep deprivation bc they never feel tired. something in their brains has simply gone offline, so the signals we typically get that tell us to rest are nonexistent here. a zombie will quite literally keep walking until it collapses and dies from exhaustion. after mob is cured, those signals are still absent and he'll stay up for days simply bc he doesn't feel tired, so he has to follow a strict schedule
overall he's never quite the same as before, zombie or no. that same exact mob from before the apocalypse will Never be here again, but ritsu doesn't mind that so much. he gets his brother back, even if some chunks are rusty or malfunctioning. he can hold a conversation with his brother again, and he's never been happier. unluckiest, luckiest kid alive.

Love having talks with my parents (/s) where they tell me I "need to stop living in fear and get back out in the world" and that they haven't stopped living because of COVID and they don't even mask and it's fine because they got it once and it was just like allergies to them and "it's not even that bad it's just like the flu or a cold", ignoring that I also have had COVID before and was in the most extreme all over pain I have been in EVER in my entire chronically ill chronic pain suffering life for over a week to the point that I was mentally begging the universe to just let me die toward the end of it so it would finally be over and am now left with significantly worse chronic fatigue, chronic pain, and heart issues than I had already before because of long COVID. Also my sense of taste and smell have still not fully recovered, which is a sign of lasting neurological damage.
But it's just fearmongering, clearly, and I'm just falling for government propaganda (even though the government has said COVID is over and that we don't need to take precautions anymore because they value profit over human lives). Sure. Makes sense.

So I had a random burst of inspiration, and made the mistake of looking over my old HQ apocalypse AU yesterday, and... Well, it's not that I don't love it, because I do, and at the moment I badly wanna get back to writing it again, but...
The thing is, when I started it, the manga was... I think still on the Nekoma/Fukurodani Tokyo arc? We'd barely even met Nohebi.
So now, I'm looking at the setup for this ensemble fic which is, fundamentally, more about how mostly they all escape and rebuild society together against the odds than it is specifically an apocalypse thing, and I'm just thinking:
"Oh no but what about everyone else?"
Like...This is a very Karasuno/Nekoma heavy fic, which is fine, and I already have like, a plan for what happens to Seijoh and Shiratorizawa, but...but there are so many more teams now??? Not to mention all the freaking family members we now know to exist.
So. I'm just sorta having a crisis at the moment about what I do. Because even though it's an apocalypse AU and people absolutely die, there's kinda...less of that than you'd think (it's mostly OCs who peg it). But equally, it feels like... would people be sitting there thinking "wow this sure is convenient then" if basically I just turned this into "hoo boy it sure seems like volleyball players inherited the earth, isn't that neat!"

Okay so I finally watched the first episode but I gotta say…I’m a little disappointed?
Like, the chemistry between the characters and the intrigue of the opening from the games just didn’t translate through for me. There were some great lines/shots/transitions they got rid of or changed that I don’t understand why they didn’t include (e.g. “you should start helping out with the mortgage then”, solider noting that Sarah is a little girl and showing more hesitance, the news report transition between past and present).
It was nice getting a bit more backstory on some stuff but yeah, I don’t know. So far I think the game’s opening was a lot stronger.
